Property portfolios, transactions, ongoing projects, the development of city districts, sustainability efforts, skills development, customer satisfaction — each day, thousands of details need to come together to form a whole that strengthens our market position. Every piece comes together thanks to our employees, who energetically and enthusiastically continue to develop our position as a dynamic force in the Öresund region. Our financial strength has put us on a strong footing and given us the freedom we need to continue driving efforts to develop the community we belong to.
The Öresund region is where we call home
The leading property company in the region
Wihlborgs offers commercial premises to companies and organisations in the Öresund region, where we are market leading in the three Swedish cities. Our customers include public and private sector organisations. The property portfolio comprises office and retail premises, logistics and production premises as well as land for future projects.
Our belief in the Öresund region is unshakable and represents an important part of our strategy — to be the leading commercial property company in the region. Our commitment to the region and our shared community help us to think long term, and that we are part of creating the prerequisites for the business community in the region to develop positively.
Vibrant urban environments for everyone
Over the years, we have amassed extensive knowledge about business conditions in the region, which has given us the courage and imagination to take initiatives that benefit the region’s development. We want to create vibrant urban environments that work for everyone who lives and works there.
Every day, we see examples of how the future cannot simply be a continuation of the here and now — that we cannot merely continue doing what we have always done. New initiatives, new positive examples and a desire to find solutions for a more sustainable society are all required. If we can produce solutions that are better adapted to the environment, either alone or together with our suppliers, then we will. And our environmental initiatives are a natural, integral part of all our business activities.

We are Wihlborgs
For 100 years, we have helped develop our region. Watch the film and learn more about our history.
Active and knowledgeable organisation
We carry out much of our work through our own organisation and have a broad range of expertise in-house, which in many cases also drives the development of the business. We take pride in our 100-year history together, and we nurture and develop our strong corporate culture with care. Our focus on cash flow, net operating income and stable forms of financing provides resilience and continued investment opportunities.
Strong relationships and an up-to-date product
We do not do everything for everyone, but we offer everything our customers need to develop. Our employees work close to our customers and stay attentive to new needs and changes. We share our knowledge to ensure that customers can develop their operations and build a strong employer brand. Through partnerships, we create platforms for both innovation and personal development.
Expansion in the Öresund region
Our objective is to know the markets in the Öresund region where we operate better than anyone else. We take an active role in the growth of the Öresund region and in the development of attractive, sustainable city districts and clusters, thereby helping to shape the conditions for our own operations. We continue to invest even in more challenging times, strengthening both our own competitiveness and that of the region across economic cycles.
Our business model – a responsive structure close to the customer
For Wihlborgs, our long-term approach is a keystone of our management and development of properties as well as of all our relationships and transactions. Our business model for long-term sustainable growth creates possibilities and progress for ourselves, our tenants and the entire Öresund region.

Properties are let and managed by our own personnel who focus on building relationships, service, occupancy rate and reduced negative climate impact as well as on energy efficiency and cost-efficiency.

The property portfolio is developed through new production, adding value and transactions. In collaboration with our cities, we develop attractive city districts and environments for innovation and growth.
Overall goals
Focus on the Core Business
Our business model has two main areas: lettings and property management, and project and urban development. Our long-term financial stability derives from the performance of each of these areas, together with changes in the value of properties. We have chosen to focus on the following parameters to monitor our performance.
Financial targets
Financial strength is crucial to Wihlborgs’ long-term growth and the company’s attractiveness as an investment. We have four overarching financial targets that are monitored continuously: return on equity, interest coverage ratio, equity/assets ratio and loan-to-value ratio.
Sustainability targets
A major part of Wihlborgs overarching goals is to have a business model for sustainable long-term growth. This entails taking the environment, people and the economy into account in all our decisions. Our 16 sustainability targets cover the different areas of ESG and help drive the company in a sustainable direction. Our climate targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which means they are scientifically grounded and aligned with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and the 1.5°C target.
